Lincoln drive by

[MSM1970]

I recently emerged from a prolonged hibernation and decided to take a little drive out to Lincoln. Didn't take any fishin' stuff, just wanted to see if there was any action, ice, or water. To my surprise, the parking lot was almost full, three or four trailers, and a few tanglers. Noticed a crowd of people out on the end of the north berm -- no doubt working a frenzy of white bass, so I ducked past the gated road and drove out to check it out. Mistake. Got halfway to the end of the "road" and noticed a lot of white shirts, thinly glad ladies, and others dressed in Sunday-go-to-meetin' clothes. When I got past the point of backing my truck out I could see that there was a wedding in progress. I apologized profusely, asked if I could turn around and get out of there. They were nice about it but I felt bad about the bride and her maids having to step off into the frags while I turned my truck around. The things I see at UL never cease to amaze me.

Anyhow, no ice -- even in the channel, and none observed out in deep water. The channel depth looked respectable, and a couple of tanglers were fishing along the south berm. Also, a few guys fishing from the shore at all three springs. Did not see any waders or other walleye-types fishing near the orchard. There was a pretty good flow of water coming into the lake from the BS, probably mini run-off from the mild temps the past few days. The water situation does not look good unless the coming storm is a big one and we get a few more to go with it. 

Air temp was 48 degrees (too cold for a wedding) but enough to get my cat blood stirred up. Looking forward to rassling with that 36 incher this year. Hoping for the best to come.

I to was down there, but I took my boat, it looked like some king of high school dance or sumthin,  I have seen alot of wedding pics down there with the mountains in the background,

There was a guywho drove out to the end of the rocks on first spring, was waitng for in to drop off the end, but he made it out, glad you made it through the winter ok, was beginning to wonder about you, better get the boat out get it ready.

Anyway, harbor depth 2 ft +-, water temp 38, no eyes today, did get WB and a 25 inch northern by first spring, no tag, home she came, beautiful day ,
